We should have a group...Plication Pioneers? I know that plication is really starting to catch on and it would be nice if those considering it would be able to find out information in an easy way. I know that I was desperately looking on here for any info on it.

Welcome! What does your pre-op diet consist of?

Thanks for sharing and best of luck to you!

Hope mine is that fast!

LadyScorpio how did it go?

@fnicole....I had no idea that plication exsisted until I went to the seminar my surgeon put on. Apparently its\'s still very new and only certain surgeons do it.

Awesome! I keep hearing about people that have to do liquids for 2 weeks! I was getting worried. Whew! How long did it take you to get a surgery date after your insurance approved you?

Good luck today!

Touria, did you have a pre-op diet and if so what did it consist of and for how long?

Awesome!

Shy2012 that is exciting keep us all updated!

20 lbs is awesome! Thanks ladies I added you both as friends and will keep in touch You both are inspirational.

I'm not banded yet but I wanted to say congrats!

Thank you so much for the response! Yes, i have been looking desperately for every comment, forum, and research article that discusses plication with the band and there just isn't much out there. I will definitely keep in touch!

A BIG thanks to all of you for all your stories, advice, and understanding! It is great to have a support network to lean on that understands. You are all wonderful

That is a tough situation, he made be afraid of losing you when you lose? I don't know if that is the case but men can be silly sometimes. Don't let him get you down and I won't let my "friends" get me down.

I'm starting to think I should have kept my mouth shut about it.

That sounds like an awful friend. Thanks for the sympathy and encouragement

I am still in the pre-op process

I am considering lapband with plication by Dr. Snider as well and have a consultation with him on the 16th. Would you say it has been worth it? Being so new I worry about getting it.

You are going to do great! Remember all the posts on here that say it was the best decision they have ever made

I don't know anything about that insurance, however, welcome! I have found this forum to be a saving grace when I feel like no one else understands.

Thanks for the support!

How do you remain a friend when you know all this?

Why the need to guilt trip some else for making a positive decision? Jealousy?
